Title: Something's odd
Post by: Hi no Seijin on September 22, 2006, 06:43:34 PM
I was talking to Zelda Veteran over AIM recently, and he said he wasn't coming back.  Does anyone know what's going on?  I'm worried about him.

Yeah, I was talking to him earlier, and i asked him to try to get nabooru to unblock me from AIM. He seemed upset because she asked him to die, and actually meant it. This is indeed very odd...

Yeah, this is odd, I wonder why nabooru said that, but I was telling him the score of the tigers game, and then I asked if I was cheering him up, and he said totaly. so maybe he'll come back soon, but this is very odd thing for Nabooru to say...

I believe I saw a few posts of his in Hyrule Adventures today, so I doubt he could have just up-and-left. Maybe he just got sick of this side of TDC.

I think you're all just getting overexcited. Forums generally tend to see a lot of this kind of tension, and all you can do is sit back and hope that the person in focus makes the right decision.

Whoa, hold on.  I get mad at Nabooru and leave TDC for a while, and he e-mails me asking me to come back, but he gets mad at her and then leaves also?  I'm sending him an e-mail.

Once again, I find myself in a position where I feel I need to throw out a few quotes.  Listen well, everyone, especially, you, Nabooru.

Ok look you guys dont know whats going on so just stay out of it k? I dont want to read stupid quotes about things I dont care about, I am thinking of leaving too.

Well, seeing as how ZV is my friend and I care about my friends, I want to know what's going on.
Title: Re:Something's odd
Post by: JDog on September 22, 2006, 07:48:16 PM
I would like to know to, ZV was one of the first people I've meet here, like maybe the second, I meet Hino first, then ZV, ZV is one of my closest friends here, And I'd like to know whats going on with you too, cause it is just plain odd and I believe you should say sorry To Zelda Veteran for saying that, wishing someone would die is one of the worst sins ever, so you should forgive him. Thank you, thank you for listening to me. :) Wow that was the longest post I ever made.Also, like I said, ZV is one of my best friends, so, tell us whats going on between you guys.

Why must you kill all those who try to get close to you nabooru? We're  only trying to be your friends...

Harashi, we all missed something.  I stopped talking to ZV shortly after he told me he was leaving, and Nabooru doesn't like to talk things out because "it never works."

Howl, that's a good point.  Nabooru, you shouldn't push us away when we're trying to be friendly.  The only reason why talking things out doesn't work for you is because you don't let it work.  You have to be willing to listen to other people's point of view and try to reach for a solution, even if that solution is a compromise or isn't in your favor.  In life, you have to give something some of the time, and other times don't back down.  But this is not a situation where you can refuse to back down.  It's only going to get you into trouble.

I dont want to tell you and that is my decision, you can ask alex, but what ever the heck(Mod: Gamefreak) he says is probably a lie.

I dont want to kill him I want him to die.

And no I dont push people out if I really careabout them.

Since all you guys care about is what hes doing go ask him b/c I dont give a heck(mod: Gamefreak).

If I get banned by this then w/e I am sick of everyone here treating me like dirt(mod:gamefreak), I am going to talk to my real friends who know better than to do stuff(mod:Gamefreak like that.

Gamefreak: Calm down, I myself am issuing one warning, but I consulted Jack about it, so whatever he decides is what happens.

One, even though you are angry, please refrain from cussing; it is against the rules here.

Two, we're not treating you like crap.  We are trying to help you, but you are blinded by your own preconceived notions to realize this.

Three, ZV may pull my leg time from time, but I highly doubt he's going to lie to me about something as serious as this if I ask him about it.  And are you honestly saying you wouldn't twist the facts either to get people on your side?

Four, you shouldn't want anyone to die, even if death is natural.  People really will treat you like scum then.  Besides, who are you to decide who should die and who shouldn't?  "Many that live deserve death.  And some that die deserve life.  Can you give it to them?  Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.  For even the very wise cannot see all ends."--Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings:  The Fellowship of the Ring.

Five, who's to say we don't care about what you're doing?  I was talking to ZV over AIM, not you (mostly because any attempt to start a conversation with you would be futile).  Of course I'm going to ask about him.  I didn't even know you were involved until DPM mentioned you.

Nabooru, I care about you, I really do.  I've been trying to extend the hand of friendship, but you've been quicker to hold a grudge then to forgive.  You have all these preconceived notions that are wrong because you won't open your eyes and truly observe the world you live in.  If you could lay aside your hatred, you would see that we care about you and are trying to help you out.

I can't be arsed with this stuff.
I have no fricking idea whats going on, but whatever.
You're all judging Nabooru without even knowing WHY she said anything. Surely you have some witty quote about judgement Hi no Seijin?
Just leave them to it, its no one elses problem but theirs, they'll sort it out if need be, and if not, then thats their choice, so stop jumping to conclusions and stay out of it.

it's not just their problem though. Nabooru told ZV she wants him to die. Now i've had that said to me before. as a matter of fact someone threatened to kill me yesterday. It's not a good feeling and you say we don't know why she said it but that's because she won't tell us.

It's sort of hard to judge Nabooru knowing why she said anything when she won't talk to us.  Like I said, to succeed at talking things out, all parties need to be willing to cooperate.  Nabooru won't let talking things out work because she won't let it work.  And as I said, ZV is my friend, so it is my problem also.  Are you honestly saying you never went to the defense of a friend in trouble?  Because you certainly have done so just now.  I would love to say that Nabooru is a friend also, but her unforgiving attitude has sort of been stopping me from doing so.

Okay let me just say "WOAH". I had no idea megan was so hateful. she used to be nice. But wanting someone to die? Thats cruel! And I really couldnt care less if you leave or not. I cant believe you. Im truly speechless. I was scared last night, because when you said

Nabboru: I hope you die
Zeldaveteran: be careful, god might answer you
Nabooru Good.

And I know god likes to prove his existance every now and again, and i was actually afraid to eat. I really thought God would strike me down, until Hi no Seijin helped me out. Hi no Seijin. Thats a true friend Nabooru. You need to grow up. Really. And its true that few of you may not know what's going on. However I see that you dont care about anyone but yourself, and you always see the bad side of things. Nobody here treats you like crap, but after that, they should. You shouldnt want anyone to die. There are some people i really hate. Like a lot. But I wouldnt wish the angel of death to visit them. Really, we just tried to be your friend. Im not going to say anymore than that.

Alright, here's what I have to say about this.

This is all based on an issue which sprung up outside of TDC, through PMs or AIM conversations. This matter really should not have entered the sphere of the forums and been discussed publicly. Why? Because when you bring personal matters to the forums, the members divide along those lines, and everyone gets worked up about it.

Remember the golden rule: if you having nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.

If you don't like somebody at these forums, don't talk to them. It's really that simple. Reply to their topics, engage in the same conversations, but don't pm them or respond directly to them if you and them cannot even talk without the underlying current of that argument bubbling up.

It is inappropriate to say you want someone to die, but it didn't happen here at the forums (as far as I know, am I wrong?) so there's nothing I, as a mod here, can do about that.

What I'm trying to say is that I can't ban Nabooru for saying she wants to ZV to die, because it didn't happen here. And even then, that's a warnable offence. I can ban someone for flagrant abuse of the rules or harassment of other members, extending the enmity of a private conversation to the forums. But Nabooru didn't bring the topic up here, so that point is moot.

Anyways, my judgement of the matter is the following: two warnings for Nabooru for excessive use of profanities. I'm not picking on you Nabooru, but really, two f-bombs and two fudgecakes in one post is excessive.

Listen, I'm trying to promote harmony here. I want everyone to get along, and like any other grouping that involves human interaction, there's tensiosn that have to be worked through. There are only two options: one, continue ahead as if the incident never happened and let the tension heal over time, or two, forgive those who you feel have transgressed against you and move on.

I'm sure some will think that I'm playing favorites here or being either too harsh or not harsh enough, and I'll take those criticisms. I'm trying to strike a happy medium here. If there any problems with my ruling, please PM me and vent your frustration there, rather than doing it here at the forums, because that will cause more tensions.
